i agree with nagalakshmi and rajani...........and it is no where written in any religion book to sacrifice animals...[/quote]

I also disagree with animal sacrifice. But we cannot say that this is prohibited in any religion. Those who make such sacrifice- may be on Id-ul-zuha or kali worship- in Bengal or Nepal do according to religious scriptures only.

Buddhism and Jainism are against animal sacrifice but Vedic Hindu and Islam are not. Our personal opinion cannot change the facts.

My intention to fire this question is not for Muslims or festival or any other religion but my intension was that sacrificing goat or any other animal is not right things its painful for animal or any other persone who can not see sacrificing position of animal or goat so if its wrong and you all religion person know it then why you are doing this things.

is it celebration to become happy.

@Santosh

My intention was also that..but as Gulshan said rituals and beliefs cannot change completely and it depends on individual thinking whether to follow them or not...But I personally cannot celebrate in such a environment and i never follow such beliefs.. :)

Rajani I think there should be certain rules from govt to stop animals crims.

Santosh- I personally agree with you. But the religious practices of sacrificing goats and other animals will not be stopped by Hindus as well as Muslims. The emergence of Buddhism and Jainism could not stop them. all that we can do is to spread the message of love to all and cruelty to none. We may get some success.

I feel that religion has no role here.It all depends on our mind set.If we wish not to sacrifice animals we can stick to our thoughts and spread the message to our future generation.There should be a change in the way we think.Also,I am not sure whether any of our spirutual books mention that sacrifices are mandatory to get blessings from God?

I believe that religion has only negative role. I also agree that our mindset matters most. We are free to spread our message.

We need not look to spiritual books. Animal sacrifice is physical and not spiritual. Only celebrators of Id Ul Zuha and disciples of Kali and Bhairav can explain the logic behind animal sacrifice. Incidentally, i may mention that Hindu Tantriks even make human sacrifice.

Let us speak for well being of all. But we cannot compel the followers of cult of violence or animal sacrifice to fall in line. This is a very difficult and long process.

I celebrated it by participating in sacrifice of animal and also by exchanging the Eid messages.Also we visit neighbouring houses and relative houses.
